And it was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade
plastering over graves, or sitting on them or building over them. Both
reports were narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh. So itis not correct for
anyone to quote the haraam action of some people as evidence that it
is permissible to do similar haraam actions, because itis not
permissible to go against the words of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) by citing the words or actions of
anyone else. And because he is the one who conveyed the command from
Allaah, and he is the one who is to be obeyed, and we must beware of
going against his commands, because Allaah says (interpretationof the
meaning): "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)
gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)"
[al-Hashr 59:7].
And there are other verseswhich enjoin obedience toAllaah and to His
Messenger. And because building up graves and erecting domes over
themare means that lead to associating their occupants with Allaah,
and the means that lead to shirk must be blocked. End quote.

3 – The scholars of the Standing Committee also said:
There is no proof in the fact that a dome was set up over the
Prophet's grave for those who take it as an excuse for building domes
of the graves of the awliya' ("saints") and righteous people, because
the building of a dome over his grave was not done on his instructions
and was not done by any of his companions (may Allaah be pleased with
them), or by the Taabi'een, or by any of the imams of guidance in the
early generations whom the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be
upon him) testified were good. Rather it was done by people of bid'ah
(innovation). It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever introduces anything into this
matter of ours that is not part of it will have it rejected." And it
was proven that 'Ali(may Allaah be pleased with him) said to
Abu'l-Hayaaj: Shall I not send you on the same mission as the
Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent
me? Do not leave any image without erasing it or any high grave
withoutlevelling it. Narrated by Muslim. As it is not proventhat he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) built a dome over his
grave, and it is not proven from any of the leading imams; ratherwhat
is proven shows that to be an invalid action, and no Muslim should
feel any attachment to the action of innovators who built a dome over
the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

4 – Shaykh Shams al-Deenal-Afghaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
al-'Allaamah al-Khajandi (1379 AH) said, discussing the history of the
green dome that was built over the grave of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), and explaining that it is an
innovation that was done by some sultans and ignorant persons who
erred and made a mistake, and that it is contrary to the clear saheeh
ahaadeeth and reflects ignorance of the Sunnah, and that they went to
extremes and imitated the Christians who are confused and misguided:
It should be noted that until the year 678 AH, there was no dome over
the chamber which contains the grave of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), rather it was built by the king
al-Zaahir al-Mansoor Qalawoon al-Saalihi in that year (678AH), when
this dome was built.
I say: He did that because he had seen in Egypt and Syria the adorned
churches of the Christians, so he imitated them out of ignorance of
the command and Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him), as al-Waleed imitated them by adorning the mosque, as
was mentioned in Wafa' al-Wafa'.
It should be noted that undoubtedly this action ofQalawoon was
contrary tothe saheeh ahaadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), but ignorance is a great calamity
and exaggeration in love and veneration is a real disaster, and
imitation of foreigners is a fatal disease. We seek refuge with Allaah
from ignorance and exaggeration and imitation of foreigners. End
